Daydreaming about warm vacations is a winter pastime of ours, and there is no destination more desirable than Ibiza. Whether you are nostalgic for an old trip to the vibrant Spanish island or manifesting your first, an authentic taste of Ibiza is just a bottle away Bassbass away. With the title of the most awarded hierbas in the world, Bassbass is one of Spain’s best kept secrets: a premium, artisanal liqueur which combines over a dozen different herbs and spices. Now, after two years of waiting and multiple sold-out drops, this decorated drink is finally coming to America.
First distilled by 16th century monks in northeastern Spain, Hierbas is a herbal spirit traditionally used as a remedy. The monks would ferment wild anise and then extract essential oils of other medicinal herbs such as rosemary, juniper and sage into the alcohol. (For the spiritually inclined, here is a chance to sage within you!) Although still relatively unknown in the United States, the drink remains a staple in the Balearic Islands. If you are a full spirit that is soft and bright with a hint of sweetness and floral accents, Bassbass will definitely be an instant favorite.
